RPP Colloquium: The Church as a Reconciling Presence in a World of Conflict

Date: 

Thursday, January 25, 2018 (All day)

Location: 

45 Francis Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Is religion a cause of violent conflict or a catalyst for its transformation? Do faith leaders have a role at the international peacebuilding tables? Current international affairs highlight the power of religious ideologies—and their misappropriation—as a catalyst for social action. They have also prompted unprecedented interest in the role of religious leaders and ideologies to transform conflict and violence. The keynote session of the fourth annual RPP Colloquium dinner series will feature Canon Sarah Snyder, PhD, Archbishop of Canterbury's Director of Reconciliation, joined by her colleague in the field, Bishop Anthony Poggo, PhD. They will share their experiences of working in conflict zones and reflect on vital lessons for the contemporary world. The event will be moderated by David N. Hempton, Dean of the Faculty of Divinity, Alonzo L. McDonald Family Professor of Evangelical Theological Studies, John Lord O’Brian Professor of Divinity. Space is limited. RSVP here: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bBhoxzCx2pK31ch
